The goal of the IIS grant program is to support physicians and researchers across a wide range of neuro-specialties committed to building clinical and scientific data to achieve better outcomes for patients and healthcare providers using NICO technologies in Minimally Invasive Parafascicular Surgery (MIPS). There are multiple clinical areas of interest that NICO will prioritize for funding evaluation; however, study concepts generating high industry interest or those representing "out of the box" thinking will also be considered.

"The response to this grant program has been very positive with numerous funding requests, indicating a heightened interest and strong desire to explore novel concepts that impact patients' daily lives. Simultaneously, these projects are building valid clinical evidence to improve clinical outcomes using innovative minimally invasive neurosurgery approaches and technologies," said Penny Sekerak, vice president of Clinical Affairs and Professional Education for NICO. "The number of applications submitted has made the selection process highly competitive, and we are very impressed with the leading edge scientific research these studies are pursuing using NICO technologies."

Physician requests for funding may be submitted at any time and are reviewed for scientific merit, feasibility, possible contribution to the respective body of clinical knowledge, and compatibility with NICO's long-term technological focus. All projects supported by this program are conducted by the applicant(s) and their respective affiliate institution(s); NICO is neither involved in collecting information, conducting research, or in the publication of any study project findings.
